No major seizure, just partials and a headache. Back to work today. 🤞🏻

Riding those "maybe I'll have a seizure and maybe I won't" waves, waiting for a friend to drive me home. Epilepsy is kinda a bitch.

Got another coworker off the R word with "fuck ass bitch" as the replacement. Doing god's work.

DEAR PORTLAND PEOPLE A FAMILY FRIENDS SON RAN AWAY 2 NIGHTS AGO PLEASE LOOK FOR THIS CHILD! #portland #oregon www.missingkids.org/poster/NCMC/...

I sort of regret not being in a place that gets hit first because living with the aftermath wouldn't be great.

Libs: Leftists are so concerned about racism, poverty, war, incarceration, technology, art, culture, language, health, the environment, animals, and even people EVEN CHILDREN who live in different nations than they do! Must be exhausting and tbh idek how it all fits together! Leftists: 🫩 oh we know

Listening right now! 😍

Pre-order books so you have something to look forward to in this hellscape nonsense world.

Two more days OMG

Easter and Halloween are basically the same holiday. Free candy at work and the day after candy on deep sale. Anyway I'm having tiny kitkats for breakfast.

Taken out of the exit door at my supermarket.

this is so real

Omfg we're doing a moon again

Project Hail Mary was fantastic. 🥹

Thing I've started doing when adults get on my ass about doing my job is saying, in a sing song kindergarten teacher voice, "Those are the rules and we follow the rules here." Gonna act like a recalcitrant five year old, I'm gonna treat you like one. They should really stop putting me at the exit.

I have a degree in design and completed a boot camp in web development and I spend my days arguing with adults who can't follow the rules and guarding pools of vomit waiting for cleaners. What even is my life.

A bargain; is it more expensive to rent a family if they aren't furries?

Having that kind of illness where I will just cough every day forever. I otherwise feel pretty alright but this cough is just going to hang on until the heat death of the universe.

This shit where the lower paid you are the more you have to go to work sick is so dystopian.

Actually the legal system should let you change your name and gender marker whenever you want on demand and recognize both polyamorous and asexual relationships with the same legal protections as monogamous marriages but we're not ready for that conversation.

Coworker: *says one of those words* Me: we don't say that anymore, it's not nice Coworker: we can't say anything anymore! Me: just call everything you don't like fuck ass shit Coworker: *stunned*

my take on birth rate discourse: If the only way our species can keep going is by forcing the half of the population born with Unlucky Organs into reproductive slavery, we should go extinct, and good riddance

I ate too much chocolate and I'm not hungry for lunch but if I go to work with having just eaten only chocolate I'll die or more likely faint. So I'm forcing myself to eat lunch and it's gross.

Arizona is such an embarrassing place but at least we don't change our clocks.

My partner sleeps later than me and I can hear him when he gets up. But sometimes I hear the exact same sounds and we're both in the same room. I'm semi convinced that this house is haunted or we have an uninvited guest living in the attic.

Can anyone recommend some good middle grade ish sci fi? I just finished Katherine Rundell's Impossible Creatures and the sequel, and I want more but more sci fi than fantasy. I've very much enjoyed the themes of friendship without romance being a major part of the story. #kidlit #scifi 📚

All these anti ICE reels are using Mumford and Sons "White Blank Page" as the soundtrack and I just wonder, am I the only one that feels like that is 100% an incel song?

It's snowing and the sun is out. 😍

I finished the first book in a series and now I have no motivation to do anything until the library opens tomorrow and I can get the next one.

In novels there are people who are suddenly in a different world and supposedly they know by the stars but if it was me I'd just be like, oh well I can't find the dippers like 80% of the time I'm sure we're still on earth and I'm just bad at stars.

Project Hail Mary!!!! If you haven’t read that, read it before movie comes out. Sooooo good.

It would be funny that I've had two successful careers and both of them have been destroyed by AI if it wasn't so heartbreaking and enraging.

Do graphic designers still primarily use illustrator or is there some other tool that is currently more marketable?

I’m *extremely concerned* about the way folks are reforming their image of the cops in light of everything that’s happening, even though we only have a handful examples of them disagreeing with ICE, while still being responsible themselves for the murders of Black and brown people across the country

Since I am WAY late to fund me Friday, I'm going to keep this up through the weekend. In honor of Link who remains unjustly banned, I am doing Fund Me Friday. Drop your links in this thread and let’s get some needs met!

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or in despair, I highly recommend reading middle grade fantasy. An epic story of good vs. evil, where the unexpected hero must be courageous, and in the end wins, is a balm for the soul. Which stories would you recommend? Share them below. #kidlit

A fully funded public education system. UBI Medicare for all Anything else. Anything at all.

I want working infrastructure, an end to injustice, so much repair A job And everybody to LAY DOWN I want some good 🍆 and NAP Instead a gotta wonder if I’m playing enough of my part in the necessary fight to FREE A SIX YEAR OLD BOY FROM THE CAMPS

This feels like a riddle. The answer is acab, including lawmakers.

Started Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. So dark. But pretty good!

a huge chunk of the part of bluesky we care about: "we're getting the band back together" and it's literally swapping social media apps to get access to one (1) user's posts

ACNH update is early, also, adorable.

i know it all seems bad but i’ve been a committed cop hater for many lonely years and i’ve never seen so many people say acab and it’s beautiful
